Funny, I came here to post mine-- but with a different caption in heart and mind:
At the beginning, at the end, a good, straightforward jack knife...
... nothing more to want or need, on most any level these knives appeal to me.*

A good, straightforward Jack Knife is hard to beat :thumbup:
Bob Wonderful colour to that Rust Red 15, I really regret getting the Amber version, should've gone Red.
You are welcome Tim and a fine pair today ! :thumbup:![]()
You grabbed a nice gaggle of Vipers lately Ron. :thumbup:

Nice pair, scrteened porch! :thumbup: Being able to pick up a new Case at your hardware store is getting to be an unusual experience.These two lately. The Schrade Cutco Walden NY is a rediscovery. The Case I bought last weekend because it was on sale at my favorite hardware store.

Thanks for the measurements and photo comparison, Ken.Thanks for the comment and interest GT.
The 980T is approx. 3.5 inches in length closed. The 80T is approx. 4 inches in length closed. I don't have a 340T.
Here's a picture of the 980T and the 80T to give you a reference on size difference.

Now I have to figure out what to carry today.

Thanks for the input on cutting with a straight edge, Rachel.I think so. I mean, I would try not to push real hard and break the tip off in the cutting boardand I'm not an expert on cutting geometry, but I think so. That's why I don't like to cut a steak on a ceramic plate with a straight edge blade if I want to preserve a sharp tip.
Me, too!
Also, this well-worn little Coke Bottle:

Thanks, Mac.Thank you! That one is a Western. I was amazed at how good of condition it was in when I found it at an antique mall for next to nothing.
I admire your self-control, Tim! Gotta be hard NOT to carry that one! :thumbup:...
Haven't carried this one in a while~

Thanks for the measurements and photo comparison, Ken.I think the 34OT is about 3 3/8", so a little smaller than your 98OT, with squarish bolsters and a "regular" clip. I think I prefer the rounded bolsters and slimmer profile of your 98OT (and the larger 61OT).
Thanks for the input on cutting with a straight edge, Rachel.It's cool to see how tickled you are with your long-lost GS knife!
The shape of that coke bottle definitely lives up to the name!
Bob and Sarah, I think those clip-pen 15s are pretty much quintessential jack knives! :thumbup::thumbup:
Yet another voluptuous Viper from the seemingly inexhaustible Half/Stop Collection!!:thumbup: Congrats, Ron!
Thanks, Mac.That Western scout is definitely a winner!
I admire your self-control, Tim! Gotta be hard NOT to carry that one! :thumbup:
When I have a watch pocket this week, this Schrade USA+ 93OT will be in it; when I don't have a watch pocket, the 93OT will be tucked into a whittling thumb guard in my left front pocket.
